Sella Towers, Italy

We woke up to see the sky in between the clouds .. We were determined to do something whilst we had a break in the weather, especially as more rain was forecast for the next day.

Looking at us all week was the Sella towers we decided that we would go over and if the cloud dispersed more then we would do the second tower, if they coalesced then we would go for the first tower.

The sun was peaking through when we got there so we set off up the Second tower N. face in two pairs.

We followed the guide description and soon we standing on the top. It was good solid climbing and we were totally lost in the climb.

On the top we realised the clouds had returned and there was rain in the air. A quick descent down the path round the back, and we were back in the refuge as the heavens opened.

A great route snatched from a limited day.






Following our success on the towers we had reached the end of our time here, and headed back home through Austria.
